Glass has remained a preferred packaging material for many years, in Canada, the earliest record of glass production occurred around the early 1800s but it was not until 1860 that glass was used to make bottles and other glass containers. There are several benefits of glass packaging. Unlike plastic packaging and many other modern packaging methods, glass packaging is sustainable. It is made from only naturally occurring ingredients rather than chemicals.
In addition, glass does not react with the products it holds, this makes it the best material for holding food and chemicals as it ensures consumers' safety and largely protects its contents. This article contains a list of glass bottle manufacturers currently working in Canada.
1. Roy+LeClair
Established in 1960 in Quebec, Roy+LeClair first started as a plastic manufacturing company before expanding into a glass-making company. Clients often include food and beverage companies and pharmaceutical companies and for this reason, the company pays special attention to ensure that the containers pass the strict standards by the Canadian Health Overseers.
Roy+LeClair claims to own enough equipment and staff to handle thousands and even millions of units in quality time, they may thus be ideal for large projects. Although they produce glass bottles of different sizes, they tend to focus more on amber glass which is used to hold light-sensitive products.
Apart from manufacturing and delivery, the company also offers consulting services where experts provide clients with information on the ideal packaging material for their products
2. Stanpac
Located in Smallville, Stanpac manufactures and supplies various types of packaging materials including glass bottles. It was established over 70 years ago and has become a manufacturer and supplier of food and beverage packaging materials for companies located in Canada, the United States, and South America.
The company focuses on packaging for food, dairy, alcohol, and ice cream, but of these, glass bottles are only reserved for dairy products and alcohol. The Stanpac glass milk bottles have gained popularity among many companies over the years as a result of their tamper-evident closures, easy carriage due to the availability of wire carriers and crates, and most importantly because the bottles can be easily refilled and sealed. Glass bottles are also manufactured to hold yogurt, butter, cottage cheese and spreads.
In addition, Stanpac designs and manufactures glass bottles for packaging wine and other alcoholic drinks. Stanpac also makes effort to boost the sale of their customer brands and therefore established Stanpac Ink which focuses on decorating and printing on glass bottles to boost the products' appeal.
3. Ampak
For over 60 years, Ampak has been manufacturing bottles, jars, and other glass containers of different kinds and sizes. Although the company also manufactures plastic containers, glass bottles remain one of its most popular products. Ampak supplies glass bottles to various companies including those producing food and beverages, chemicals, pharmaceutics, and others.
In addition to manufacturing and supplying, the company also provides printing services to clients including pressure-sensitive labelling, heat transfer, screen printing, and shrink sleeving.
4. Owen-Illinois, Inc.
Owens-Illinois, Inc., simply known as O-I one of the most popular glass bottle manufacturers in the world. Although it was first established in Ohio, USA, the company has expanded so much that it currently has over 35 companies in 9 countries across the globe with 2 of these being located in Brampton and Montreal. As a famous glass manufacturer and a preferred partner for many leading brands in the world, O-I makes billions in annual revenue.
The company makes effort to create unique, sales-boosting glass bottles that are safe and sustainable to clients and was granted an award for one of its designed bottles in 2010. Owen-Illinois, Inc. has a wide range of products categorized to fit various clients' needs. In addition, the company has an innovation center where new methods of creating unique, safe, and sustainable products are conceptualized and designed.
5. Pegasus Glass
Established by the Trent brothers in 1968, Pegasus Glass has certainly built a reputation as one of the most popular manufacturers and suppliers of glassware. Although the company began as a chemical company, it expanded into a glass manufacturing company after acquiring Corning Glassworks, a glass manufacturing company that existed in the 1970s. Glass manufacturing continued to grow and has nearly tripled in size since 1970.
The company is especially popular for being a producer of borosilicate glass bottles. Borosilicate glass is special and rare in that it has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, this means that it is made to be much more resistant to heat than the average glass. The company manufactures several kinds of glassware using this special kind of glass some of which include glass tubes and rods, sight glass, process glass piping, and glass bottles.
Due to its high resistance to severe temperatures, Pegasus' glass bottles which vary in sizes and shapes, can be used to hold several kinds of food and beverages. It can also be used to contain harsh chemicals and promises a longer life span than many other glass bottles on the market.
6. Consolidated Container Company
Located in Montreal and Toronto, this packaging company has been providing packaging solutions to clients for over 100 years. Consolidated Container Company offers clients both plastic and glass options, these glass options consist of several glass bottles of various shapes, sizes and colours to satisfy clients' needs.
Consolidated Container Company has partnered with several companies over the years including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and health and beauty companies. This is evident in the vast variety of products available in the company's catalogue. In addition to these, the company has been decorating packaging products to boost brands' appearances, the various kinds of container decorating services available include shrink sleeving, labelling, hot stamping, and silk-screening.
The company also offers clients logistics and warehousing services; the logistics department coordinates global logistics to enable clients to import or export their products anywhere around the world. The warehousing department consists of more than 200 square feet of total space allowing customers to store their products for a given period until they are ready to place the products on the market.
7. Cole-Parmer
For over 65 years, Cole-Parmer, located in Montreal, has offered clients access to a wide variety of containers made from plastics, polyethylene, polypropylene, and glass. Unlike other companies on this list, Cole-Parmer does not provide glass bottles for domestic uses, rather most of their products can only be used by science-related companies.
Clients include vaccine production companies, pharmaceutical companies, fluid handling companies, virus testing companies, and so on. Most of the glass bottles are thus laboratory equipment. Apart from providing clients with containers, the company also offers a wide variety of other services, including Calibration services, custom engineered solutions, master flex single-use systems and assemblies, and custom temperature probes; they also offer repair services, in case of products get faulty after purchase.
Glass bottles provided by this company may be coloured or clear depending on the kind of product to be held. Some popular glass bottles offered by Cole-Parmer include a 60ml, wide-mouth bottle made from amber glass, a 500ml straight-sided bottle made from amber glass, and a 30ml straight-sided bottle made of clear glass.

A Digital Literacy Diary part 2 – Aku Bisa!
I am at the moment in which I let my children just go with the gadget, and see how it turns out. A proof of concept.
It's impossible to implement control gadget, teach them how to, and just expect the best out of it, without correcting the parents habit, first.
It's always the parents. Any kid's root problem is always the parents. We fix the parents, then the children behaviour. I should learn to control my self first. My husband should do to. Then, after this, we can expect more.
An idea came. A bedtime story. Fortunately the children like it. They usually watch something before going to sleep. Tonight, we have another habit to create. Hopefully it can be consistently conducted. Ah yes. Start small, consistent, and the best result will follow.

We Can Provide Answers Only If We Act Together: As Europeans
by Christian Kullmann
The EU is a project committed to peace and prosperity in a globalized world. To keep this project alive, we must learn to talk about Europe more positively and shape the mechanisms of political decision-making more effectively
T
here's only one possible response to the results of the European election: The EU must become even bolder and more enterprising internally in order to stay strong externally. That's the only way this unique economic and peace project can be permanently protected from threats—including those coming from its populist opponents within.
One important aspect of the European election should be emphasized first of all: The high level of voter participation in Germany and in many other countries demonstrates that European democracy is working. People take Europe and European politics seriously and consider them important. The fact that nationalistic and anti-Europe forces will also be represented in considerable numbers in the European Parliament is certainly a serious challenge for European democracy. However, it does not change the fact that the pro-Europe parties dominate in the European Parliament. Democracy is very much alive.
And it has challenges to meet. That's because Europe is facing tremendous changes. The political and economic developments in America and Asia are having a direct impact on us. We need answers to the questions that these changes are bringing with them. And we can provide these answers only if we act together as Europeans. No country, including Germany, can do that alone.
At stake are our values, our interests, and our future role in the world. Our challenge is to balance varying goals in order to cooperatively achieve a good outcome. That's what we need to do inside Germany and within Europe as a whole.
For more than five decades, the European integration project has not been called into question. It has not been loved everywhere, but it has at least been tolerated. As long as the economic situation was favorable, business and a shared currency fulfilled their purpose as a binding element. But then the financial crisis that began in 2008 thrust Europe, and especially the euro, into a deep crisis. The dispute over European debt drove a deep wedge between the EU members, and the rigorous course toward stability led to harsh social upheavals in some countries. Many of the anti-Europe parties that have now been voted into the European Parliament owe their ascendancy to these political developments.
»Germany on its own is simply too small to be able to play a serious role in the future global concert of the major powers.«
The wave of migration and Germany's decision to open its boundaries have also led, both here and abroad, to a loss of trust in shared European solutions. We could and should have regarded these crises as an opportunity to work even more intensely on European integration and to learn from our mistakes. Instead, many member states have succumbed to nationalistic rhetoric that more and more often advocates rejecting joint action and promotes mistrust of the EU. Brexit is yet another momentous destructive element.
TRUST AND FRIENDSHIP INSTEAD OF MISTRUST AND HATE
Of course this mistrust is not a new phenomenon. It could even be regarded as an opportunity to move forward. That's because suspicion of one another was also prevalent at the time when this community of states was first established. When the Treaty of Rome was signed in 1957, there was little trust between the former warring nations. The determination to form a community was not based on affection or mutual understanding. It grew out of the painful realization that exclusively nationalistic actions lead to catastrophe—and it also grew out of the farsighted political action of a number of committed Europeans. There was serious concern that without this union people in one country would once again shout, "We come first!" No European country should ever again try to oppress another one through its military or economic might.
Only through the creation of the European Union and through the positive experience of sharing and acting together have deep trust and friendship arisen over the years to replace the mutual mistrust that had previously existed for centuries. The European Union developed into a region of freedom, democracy, equality, and the rule of law. The fact that the memory of this unique development has faded after less than 70 years, and that the EU no longer exerts a fascination beyond national boundaries as the greatest peace project of all time, is a cause for concern.
In addition to the EU's function of safeguarding peace and freedom, an equally significant aspect is the fact that our current prosperity is based on its success. In the period since the foundation of the European Union, the prosperity of its member states has tripled. The establishment of the European single market more than 25 years ago has increased the gross domestic product by one third in Germany alone. In terms of economic well-being, the EU states have moved into an outstanding position among all the industrialized nations worldwide. This prosperity is based not least on the success of globally operating companies such as Evonik. The single market is massively expanding our sales opportunities. It's not a coincidence that the EU is responsible for the highest percentage of worldwide exports of industrial products. A duty-free international market with an annual volume of more than €14 trillion is open to us. The single market results in intense Europe-wide competition that has a positive effect on our prosperity and drives us to outstanding performance on a global scale.
WE CAN ONLY SURVIVE ON THE WORLD MARKET AS EU
Moreover, international competition is taking place not only between the EU's individual member states but also, and much more intensely, between Europe and other regions of the world. Meanwhile, the economic power blocs have been shifting very significantly for years now. China has caught up dramatically in terms of its economic output, and today it stands almost at eye level with the USA and the EU. This rise will continue. In the foreseeable future, China will have not merely caught up with the current growth rates of the EU and the USA but overtaken them. We need to work hard to maintain our standing in the global market. But we will succeed in this enterprise only as the EU, not as independently operating industrialized nations. Germany on its own is simply too small to be able to play a serious political and economic role in the future global concert of the major powers.
A look at demographic developments demonstrates this very clearly. According to forecasts by the United Nations, the global population will increase by almost one third between now and 2050. Today Germany's share of this total is barely one percent, and it will continue to decrease in the period until 2050. Only if we work together with our European partners will we be able to maintain a certain level of geopolitical relevance.
The basic requirement for a well-functioning and prospering European Union is the active approval of its population. An EU that is perceived solely as a cumbersome administrative apparatus in Brussels does not have a positive long-term outlook, because it is not helping to create a European identity. How can we once again strengthen people's faith in the project that is the European Union?
LESS BADMOUTHING, MORE EFFECTIVE ACTION
For one thing, we have to learn how to talk about Europe more positively. The common practice within the member states of declaring political successes as their own and ascribing failures to the EU is counterproductive. Those who publicly discredit and disparage the European project are playing right into the hands of the populists on the left and the right. This is a challenge not only for the politicians but also for the media, social institutions, and businesses.
For another thing, the EU's political decision-making mechanisms must become more effective. In the White Paper on the future of Europe, the outgoing President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, has taken a path that includes expressing self-criticism regarding the current mechanisms. Concentrating on selected areas of policy even more than before in order to reach quicker results is the right approach. In order to increase efficiency, the principle of majority rule should be applied to decisions made by the member states, rather than requiring all too often that the important decisions made by the Council must be unanimous.
Only if the EU is a powerful unity that is capable of reform will it be able to hold its ground in the outside world in the future. And only then will it be able to develop the charisma that will inspire its citizens' continued or renewed enthusiasm about this project, on which our future well-being crucially depends.

Q: Link function to specific address I am a little bit confused with ENTRY and STARTUP commands in GCC linker script.
As stated here: http://wiki.osdev.org/Linker_Scripts
ENTRY() makes any symbol to be linked as first item in .text section.
STARTUP() on the other hand makes whole compiled file to be placed as first item in .text section.
In my project however it behaves strange.
I am using gnu-arm-none-eabi toolchain and in my linker script command ENTRY(asm_start) makes no effect. Linker script:
ENTRY(asm_start)

MEMORY
{
    RAM : ORIGIN = 0x10000, LENGTH = 0x1000000
    PIC_BUFF : ORIGIN = 0x10000 + LENGTH(RAM), LENGTH = 200M
}

SECTIONS
{
    .text : {*(.text)} > RAM
    .data : {*(.data)} > PIC_BUFF
// etc.

assembly function:
.text

.global asm_start
.global exc_stack
.global supervisor_sp

asm_start:

   # initialize Stack pointer for exception modes
   mrs r4, cpsr
   bic r4, r4, #0x1f

   #FIQ Mode
   orr r3, r4, #0x11
   msr cpsr_c, r3
   ldr sp, =exc_stack

   #IRQ Mode
   orr r3, r4, #0x12
   msr cpsr_c, r3
   // etc.

and asm_start finishes in some random place in memory.
On the other hand STARTUP() function works fine and desired file ends in proper place in .text section.
Could some please explain what exactly is happening in this case?

A: ENTRY() sets the PC starting point on the execution, and STARTUP() the first linked object in the .text
BTW, for baremental cortex ARM gnu-arm-none-eabi, ENTRY() is usually set to the Reset_Handler vector and .text must start with the interrupt vector table.
I've always seen it manually set. but it might be possible to use STARTUP() for that.

Home Naija news 21,476 Nigerians Overstayed Visas In The US In 2017
21,476 Nigerians Overstayed Visas In The US In 2017
Visa Application Approved Stamp Showing Entry Admission Authorized
No fewer than 21,476 Nigerians have overstayed their visas to the United States within the last one year, Per second news media reports on Thursday. It said that information it gathered from Washington indicated that those who overstayed include students, workers and tourists, with increase in numbers of those that has refused to return to Nigeria.
Illegal immigration by overstaying a visa has been shown to outweigh a number of people entering by an illegal border crossing. More than 700,000 foreigners who were supposed to leave the United States during a recent 12-month period overstayed their visas, according to U.S Department of Homeland Security ' Fiscal Year 2017 Entry/Exit Overstay Report.
185,375 Nigerian visitors were expected to depart after their stay, with 630 of them overstaying their visas, while 19,046 visitors and business men and women refused to return to Nigeria and residing illegally inside the United States. In the report obtained, a total 9,245 students were expected to depart the U.S after their studies with 258 returning to Nigeria after overstaying their visas, while 2,172 refused to return and are currently residing illegally in the U.S An overstay is a nonimmigrant who was lawfully admitted to the United States for an authorized period but stayed in the United States beyond his or her authorized admission period.
Nonimmigrants admitted for "duration of status" who fail to maintain their status also may be considered overstays. "Duration of status" is a term used for foreign nationals who are admitted for the duration of a specific program or activity, which may be variable, instead of for a set timeframe.
The authorised admission period ends when the foreign national has accomplished the purpose or is no longer engaged in authorized activities pertaining to that purpose. An example is a student program that runs for four years. When the program is completed, the student must leave or go on to pursue another program of study.
The DHS classifies individuals as overstays by using the ADIS system to match departure and status change records to arrival records collected during the admission process.
DHS further identifies nonimmigrant status through manual vetting processes to support possible enforcement action. DHS identifies an individual as having overstayed if his or her departure record shows he or she departed the United States after his or her authorized admission period expired 17 (i.e., Out-of-Country Overstays).
While these individuals are considered overstays, there is evidence indicating they are no longer physically present in the United States.
DHS also identifies individuals as possible overstays if there are no records of a departure or change in status prior to the end of their authorised admission period (i.e., Suspected In-Country Overstays).
Overstays accounted for 1.3 percent of the 52.7 million visitors who arrived by plane or ship during the latest period, an improvement from the overstay rate of 1.5 percent a year earlier. Canada again occupied the top slot for overstays, followed by Mexico, Venezuela, the United Kingdom and Colombia. Nigeria, China, France, Spain and Germany rounded out the top 10.
The overstay rate was much higher among students and foreign exchange visitors, with 4.2 percent staying after their visas expired, a decline from 5.5 percent the previous year. President Donald Trump has focused border security efforts on erecting a multibillion-dollar wall with Mexico. But the latest annual figures underscore how visa overstays are a big driver of illegal immigration. An estimated 40 percent of the roughly 11 million people in the country illegally stayed past their visas.

President Trump has finally found Mike Flynn's replacement. Trump named Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster his new national security adviser, according to multiple reports.
People seem to agree with the president, and commended his choice on social media.
The retired general comes on board after Trump's previous pick, Ret. Vice Adm. Bob Harward, turned down the job for fear of joining an unstable White House mired in chaos. McMaster's job will be to restore order to a National Security Council that's come under fire for a series of perplexing moves and blunders, including the appointment of Steve Bannon in a senior role, and the dismissal of Flynn after he lied to Vice President Pence about the nature of his calls with Russian officials.

Q: Django makemessages not detecting translatable strings In an app 'purchase', there is a file reports.py.  In this app, I'm generating some pdf-reports that sometimes I want to translate to the Czech language. Unfortunately the makemessages script doesn't detect the translatable strings.
Running the following shows that reports.py is being processed.  But no files are added.
.././manage.py makemessages -l cs_CZ -v 2
processing file reports.py in .
processing locale cs_CZ

This is a snippet from the reports.py file:
from django.utils.translation import ugettext as trans

def purchase_order_report(purchase_order, language='en'):
    ...
    doc.add_text(trans('Items requested'), 'Heading2')
    ...

The Locale folder is setup like this:
LOCALE_PATHS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "locale"),
)

Edit:
It seems that django makemessages is not correctly translating the import.
Running the following works (but may conflict when unpacking variables to _):
from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _

def purchase_order_report(purchase_order, language='en'):
    ...
    doc.add_text(_('Items requested'), 'Heading2')
    ...

Running the following works as well (but is not very handy if you want to mix and match ugettext and ugettext_lazy):
from django.utils.translation import ugettext

def purchase_order_report(purchase_order, language='en'):
    ...
    doc.add_text(ugettext('Items requested'), 'Heading2')
    ...

Any thoughts?

A: Apps should have a locale dir of their own. But it's not created if it does not exist. Create the directory within the app and then it should work.

A: The xgettext GNU command accepts a --keyword=KEYWORD option in order to detect additionnal keywords.
I tried the following command in my shell and the result was as expected :
xgettext -o - --from-code=UTF-8 -L Python -d django -ktrans reports.py

Sadly, it seems that there is not any way to pass this option through the makemessages Django (2.1) command yet :'(
The keywords are hardcoded in the django/core/management/commands/makemessage.py file (around line 570).


I post my art here! Give it a look!
Feel like I'd get impaled somehow.
@Nashew: huh. Don't think I've seen it.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for it!
@WiispNightmare: Switch and PC at the moment, I believe it's coming to PS4 soon as well.
So I recently played through Wandersong, and it left such an impression on me that I decided to draw some fan art! Go play this game! It's amazing!
Dang, it's 2019 now! Time to get more active with art again!
Flareon Sketch/ Taking requests again!
He looks like he's saying "Good, but I prefer chocolate ice cream."
Trying out new things! I spent a long time trying to figure out cat anatomy for this one (You'd think that learning anatomy wouldn't be a new thing when I've been drawing this long but I've been avoiding it and that's why my poses are so ridiculously non-dynamic) and whoo boy it took a while and this still ain't my best work, but hey, it's progress towards getting better! Any progress is good progress, right?

Krzysztof Meyer (born 11 August 1943) is a Polish composer, pianist, and music scholar, formerly Dean of the Department of Music Theory (1972–1975) at the State College of Music (now Academy of Music in Kraków), and president of the Union of Polish Composers (1985–1989). Meyer served as professor of composition at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne from 1987 to 2008, prior to his retirement.

Biography
Meyer was born in Kraków, Poland. As a boy he played piano and organ, and he began his composition study early – in 1954, with Stanisław Wiechowicz. Then, at the State College of Music in Kraków he continued studying with Wiechowicz, and after the latter's death in 1963, did his diploma with Krzysztof Penderecki (1965). He also studied music theory (diploma in 1966). In Paris, he took courses with Nadia Boulanger (1964, 1966, and 1968), and in Warsaw he became a private pupil of Witold Lutosławski.

His Symphony No. 1 was his first work to be performed, in Kraków in 1964. In 1965, while still a student, he made his debut at the "Warsaw Autumn", as the youngest composer in the festival's history (String Quartet No. 1). He was fascinated with avant-garde not only as a composer: from 1965 to 1967, as a member of "MW2 Ensemble", he performed experimental pieces, typical for the sixties, in Poland and in some West European countries. Later he continued to be active as a pianist, performing mostly his own works, or playing chamber music.

From 1966 to 1987 Meyer taught theory at the State College of Music (now Academy of Music in Kraków), holding the chairmanship of the Department of Music Theory from 1972 to 1975. From 1987 to 2008 he was professor of composition at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne. Since 2019 honorary professor of Lviv Conservatory.

From 1985 and 1989 he was the president of the Union of Polish Composers. For fourteen years (1974–1988) he took part in the work of the Repertory Committee of the "Warsaw Autumn" International Festival of Contemporary Music. He is a Fellow of Collegium Invisibile.

Music
In his early compositions (String Quartets Nos. 1–4, Symphonies Nos. 1–3), Meyer experimented with unconventional sonorities, typical of the Polish avant-garde music in the 1960s. He used twelve-tone technique, albeit freely, as well as aleatoric technique and collage. All these means appear in his first opera Cyberiada, to a science-fiction libretto after Stanisław Lem's The Cyberiad.

In later works, Meyer gradually limited the multitude of sonic ideas. He increasingly focussed on the drama and expression as understood in a traditional way although avoiding romantic effects. The style of Meyer's later works reflects his interest in tradition; even his use of titles such as "string quartet", "sonata", "concerto", "symphony" are indicators of the traditional trend in his aesthetic. "There are contemporary textures and timbres, but they are usually incidental to a language in which tonal pulls and familiar signposts govern the overall flow and structure."

Chamber music occupies a privileged place in his output. "What is attractive to him in such pieces is the fact that they are perfect to create 'sonic puzzles', referring to the 'hidden arithmetic exercise of the soul, which does not know that it is counting', as Leibnitz described the essence of music. Examples of these are the variation of the tempi in String Quartet No. 11 or the changes of rhythm in String Quartet No. 10. Some pieces for large ensembles can be listened to as a musical commentary to a political event or existential reflection. These topics are hinted at by the subtitles and quotations ('Polish' Symphony No. 6, referring to the atmosphere of martial law in Poland from 1981 to 1983) or the use of the text (Symphony No. 8, with the lyrics of the anti-antisemitic poems by Adam Zagajewski). The catastrophic message of the oratorio The Creation of the World is told through the text but its expression is achieved through the music."

Camus devotes a section of The Rebel to Stirner. Despite a fairly accurate summarization of some of Stirner's ideas he nonetheless consigns him to dwelling in a desert of isolation and negation "drunk with destruction". Camus accuses Stirner of going "as far as he can in blasphemy" as if in some strange way an atheist like Stirner can "blaspheme" against something he does not believe in. He proclaims that Stirner is "intoxicated" with the "perspective" of "justifying" crime without mentioning that Stirner carefully distinguishes between the ordinary criminal and the "criminal" as a violator of the "sacred". He brands Stirner as the direct ancestor of "terrorist anarchy" when in fact Stirner regards political terrorists as acting under the possession of a "spook". He furthermore misquotes Stirner by asserting that he "specifies" in relation to other human beings "kill them, do not martyr them" when in fact he writes "I can kill them, not torture them" – and this in relation to the moralist who both kills and tortures in order to serve the "concept of the 'good'".
"the rebel" as a preferred alternative to "the revolutionary" he nowhere acknowledges that this distinction is taken from the one that Stirner makes between "the revolutionary" and "the insurrectionist". That this should occur in a work whose purpose is a somewhat frantic attempt at rehabilitating "ethics" well illustrates Stirner's ironic statement that "the hard fist of morality treats the noble nature of egoism altogether without compassion".
a simple mortal". This is not a serious criticism. If I cannot find satisfaction in my own life where can I find it? Even if it [is] the activity of another that gives me satisfaction it ismy satisfaction that I experience, any satisfaction that the other may have being something that he or she experiences – not me. If this constitutes being a "simple mortal" then so be it, but that it is a "resigned attitude" is another matter.
Lachmann's and Stourzh's Two Essays on Egoism provide a stimulating and instructive introduction to Stirner's ideas. Although both authors give a good summary of his egoism they differ sufficiently in their approach to allow the reader to enjoy adjudicating between them.
Lachmann's essay Protagoras – Nietzsche – Stirner traces the development of relativist thinking as exemplified in the three philosophers of its title. Protagoras is the originator of relativism with his dictum "Man (the individual) is the measure of all things". This in turn is taken up by Stirner and Nietzsche. Of the two, however, Stirner is by far the most consistent and for this reason Lachmann places him after Nietzsche in his account. For him Stirner surpasses Nietzsche by bringing Protagorean relativism to its logical conclusion in conscious egoism – the fulfilment of one's own will.
Stourh draws a valuable distinction between the "imperative" approach of the moralists and the "indicative" approach of Stirner towards human behaviour. He also gives an informative outline of the critical reaction to Stirner of such philosophers as Ludwig Fueurbach, Kuno Fischer and Eduard von Hartman. Stourzh mars his interpretation, however, by making the nonsensical claim that Stirner's egoism "need in no sense mean the the destruction of divine mystery itself." And in line with his desire to preserve the "sacredness" of this "divine mystery" he at times patently seeks to "sweeten" Stirner by avoiding certain of his most challenging remarks.

Many people are buying machines from companies that are saying, "Why not buy?" We will give you 30 days to try it and refund your money back if you don't like it. What they don't say is if it is not in new condition or the original box is not there or if there is a scratch on it they won't give you 100% of your money back.
Please investigate their return policy from the manufacturer that you are considering purchasing a vibration platform from. If you don't like the vibration machine you bought (for any reason), what is their return policy? Is it 30 days no questions asked? Do they charge you the shipping? Will they give you a prepaid shipping label? Will they have their shipping company pick it up at your place? What if you don't have the original carton for it? Is there any restocking fees or exceptions when they charge fees? Find all of this stuff out. They might give you your money back but charge you 200 dollars that it cost to ship to you plus you have to pay to ship it back. If it's in used condition, will you only get a percentage of refund back?
Most whole body vibration machine companies will not quiver when you want to return something. This is assuming it is not damaged by you. They know they can sell it quickly to someone else. Even though a company has a good reputation, it is still good to know the return policy in full. This can help avoid any problems should you decide to return it for any reason you are not satisfied with their machine.

1. Be able to label a diagram or a model of a human brain including the following parts: medulla, pons, cerebellum, midbrain, thalamus, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and cerebrum. Tell briefly what each part does.
2. What is a neuron? Draw a picture of a typical neuron and label it's parts. Where does information enter a neuron and where does information leave from?
3. Explain how drugs affect the function of neurons especially at the 'synapse'. Make a commitment never to take drugs except for medical reasons.
4. What is a reflex? Perform a knee-jerk reflex test on someone. (Instructions: Gently tap someone just below the knee-cap while the person's leg is hanging over the edge of a chair.). Explain why it occurs (use the following terms in your answer: sensory neuron, motor neuron, spinal cord). Why do doctors use this test in a physical exam?
5. What is a sensory neuron, and what is "adaption". Demonstrate adaption by doing the following:
a. Rest your arm on a table and then place a small cork (or something very light) on your arm. Notice how it feels at that time and how it feels one minute later after not moving.
b. Place one finger of one hand in a bowl of cool water and another finger of the other hand into a bowl of warm water. After 30 seconds, put both fingers in to a bowl of water at room temperature. How does the water at room temperature feel on each finger?
c. What spiritual lesson can be drawn from the concept of adaption?
6. How are the senses of taste and smell similar and how are they different. Draw a map of which part of the tongue responds to the following tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, salt. Instructions: Have someone dip a Q-tip into one of the following: sugar water (for sweet), lemon juice (for sour), flat tonic water (bitter) or salty water (salt), and then lightly touch different parts of your tongue. Notice which areas of the tongue taste the solution that is being tested. Rinse with pure water between each test and use a new Q-tip for each test.
7. Draw a picture of the various parts of the eye and explain why you have a blindspot. Find your blind-spot for one eye. Instructions: Place a very small black dot on the center of a white piece of paper. Close one eye and stare directly ahead. Hold the paper at arms length in front of you and move the paper until the spot "disappears" (usually this is occurs when the dot is just a bit below eye level - it is important).
8. Describe the three basic parts of the ear and tell what each part does. Explain why the following activities can be bad for your hearing:
a. listening to a "walkman"
b. putting something long in your ear
c. being in the front row at a loud music concert
d. not treating an ear infection properly
e. standing behind a jet at an airport
9. Do one or more of the following activities: (some of these activities will need to be planned with a medical/dental professional or at a local college or university (they are usually very willing to assist you)
a. Observe an electroencephalogram or one being performed on someone and describe what can be learned from this test.
b. Watch a "lie-detector" test being performed. Briefly explain how one works.
c. Observe an MRI or one being performed and explain what information can be learned from such a test.
d. Observe a neuron under a microscope.
e. Observe someone receiving an local or general anesthetic and explaining how an anesthetic works.
f. Observe a real human brain (fresh or preserved)
10. List at least 5 things that you can do to protect your brain from damage.
11. Do one of the following:
a. Visit and help care for someone (minimum of 2 hrs) who has a disease of the brain and report on their special needs.
b. Briefly describe the following disorders of the nervous system: Alzheimer's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Major Depression, Down Syndrome, Huntington's Disease, quadriplegic and paraplegic.
12. Find at least three references from the Bible that refer to your brain and/or to decisions that you make in life.


It is essential to have a trading plan in writing before you begin trading commodities. Without a coherent and logical plan, one takes a great deal of unnecessary risk. A sound trading plan is one of the most critical components of success in trading commodities. Without a trading plan, inconsistent and erratic results will cause losses that will eventually drain your trading account.
Creating a commodity trading plan can be accomplished in as little as a day but it can also take months to complete a well-designed plan. The most successful trading strategies are iterative processes that improve over time. When one approaches the markets for the first time trading experience, the level of market education and the sophistication of trading strategies will be basic. The construction of a trading plan does not have to be a complicated process. However, you will find that you will build your plan over time.
Even the most successful and profitable traders in the world are always adjusting their basic approach to markets. Those changes are the results of mistakes made and things are done that result in profits.
If you include the main topics outlined below, you should be able to construct a simple set of beginning rules to follow while you are trading commodities. The complexity all depends on trading experience, the level of market education and the sophistication of trading strategies. Needless to say, you do not have to make a trading plan a complicated process. If you include the main topics outlined below, you should be able to construct a simple set of rules to follow that will allow you to approach the market without fear and with confidence.
The best traders follow rules and learn from mistakes.
First, decide which commodity markets you are going to trade. If you will be an active trader, I recommend concentrating on no more than three commodities at one time. Long-term traders who want a little more diversification can look for opportunities in other commodities.
This is where many unsuccessful traders go wrong. They have no specific trading strategies for entering and exiting trades. The "wing-it" approach rarely works. While someone might get lucky once and a while, I can almost guarantee this is a losing way to approach markets. Watching the news for trading opportunities is not a trading strategy. You should have a logical and tested fundamental or technical strategy for trading commodities. Additionally, you must decide whether you want to be a long-term trader or a short-term trader.
You should know what your risk is on every trade before you enter any market. Once you are filled on a buy or sell order you should immediately place a stop loss order to limit risk on every trade. One of the biggest mistakes new commodity traders make is taking small profits and large losses. In every case, the loss you are willing to suffer should be equal to or smaller than the profit you seek. Often, one or two big losses will destroy an account. If you can keep your losses small, you will be far ahead of most other new traders.
Recording each and every trade you make and the reasons why you entered and exited the trade is one of the best educational tools you can employ. Over time, a trader will learn which strategies work best and under what conditions if documentation is available and studied. Keeping track of the profit or loss on each trade will help teach important and valuable lessons. I print out a chart of each trade that shows where I entered and exited. Using this method over time will help you see patterns of how the markets work and how you can improve your trading strategies and results.
A trading plan is like a roadmap or blueprint that tells you where you need to go and how you will get there. Without one, you will be lost and directions are almost impossible to find when the market goes against you.


There are many benefits to Mindfulness Meditation and many more with Body Mindfulness. These benefits are described in many mindfulness books. There are critics that think that Mindfulness is treated as a cure-all and that it is given way too many accolades. They think that this is done because Mindfulness is the new fad and the current in-thing and that this will fade eventually revealing the truth that Mindfulness is not all that it is claimed to be.
I find it myself, when I sit down to right these blogs that I can't help but describe the many benefits over the years that I and my clients have received with Body Mindfulness based work. There is no exaggeration.
Mindfulness helps in so many areas because it is a fundamental shift in the way of living. It changes the fundamental belief that it is the outside world that is the cause of your problems to, it is the inside programs you created for yourself and are consciously and unconsciously choosing to run, that is the cause of your problems.
This is a massive fundamental shift in the way we have been brought up and what we have been taught in school. Through Mindfulness work, you have amazing access to your insides and all your past and present programs. Never before in recorded history has this been taught at the scale that is happening now on the planet.
You are not a victim to your body's issues, diseases and your minds habits and problems. Almost all health issues can be traced back to an issue in your mind and body that you have access to, and are able to heal.
Of course saying that this is possible and actually doing it requires a lot of practice. But it is worth it. Your health and stress levels will show the difference over time.

"The bestselling title on Amazon in the US right now is not Harper Lee's hugely anticipated second novel, Go Set a Watchman, or George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series, or even Zoella's much-mocked but much-bought young adult hit, Girl Online. Instead, Scottish illustrator Johanna Basford is topping the charts, with her colouring books for adults taking top spots on Amazon.com's bestseller lists.
Coloring provides a fun, safe and creative outlet to those who may not have the skill or time to draw images and then color them in themselves. Coloring has also proven itself to be a good stress reliever and relaxation or meditation tool – one that is easily used by anyone with markers, crayons or colored pencils. And it's fun!
I haven't tried a particular coloring book yet myself, but have been researching the most popular, so I was excited to come across this link this morning. It's about this new coloring book full of architecture and cityscape scenes. Which, since am a huge architecture and urban design fan, SOLD! I mean, how awesome does this look!?
This beauty by Steve McDonald is available for pre-order on Amazon, and has a release date of August 11th.
Here are some of the other popular coloring book choices.
As I was researching these coloring books, I learned from reading the reviews on Amazon that marker bleedthrough is a big concern in some books. Some are printed on only one side of the page, which minimizes the concern of markers bleeding through – and can easily be combated by inserting a blank piece of paper underneath the one being colored. But in other cases – particularly the most-popular Secret Garden – the pages are printed double-sided, and if you are not careful with what medium you're coloring with, the markers will bleed through to the other side. Lesson learned: always read the reviews first!
← Art Journaling or Daily Planning?
Wow! That city one is pretty awesome!
I do not colour in the books but have them copied onto 200gsm paper. The colours do not bleed. Great solution and easier to colour than fiddling with the book itself.

DJI might be best known in consumer circles for its drones, but the company has announced a new integrated camera and handheld stabilizer designed to make your footage as smooth as a pro's.
Rather than design a fixed single-purpose unit, the Osmo comes with a 12-megapixel 4K camera but is also compatible with DJI's Zenmuse cameras. The Osmo camera has 1/2.3″ sensor and a 94° field-of-view lens.
"With the Osmo, we have created a camera specifically designed to capture a smooth moving image regardless of filming conditions," DJI's CEO and founder Frank Wang said.
Controls built into the handle of the mount allow you to quickly change shooting angles, adjust settings and control 'smart' functions like panorama mode (the camera auto-pans 360° and stitches the images together for you), a long exposure mode and a slow motion setting that captures at 120 frames-per-second (fps) at a resolution of up to 1080p.
The handle also contains an integrated stereo mic, as well as a 3.5mm audio jack for professional audio capture.
Alongside the mount and camera, there's a range of accessories that work with the Osmo, including a tripod, extension rod, bike mount, a straight arm extension for mounting two accessories to the Osmo at once and a universal mount that allows you to add a mic or LED light.
If the handle sounds appealing, but you already have a Zenmuse X3, a Zenmuse X5 Pro or a Zenmuse X5 Raw, DJI says you'll be able to buy the handle on its own, but hasn't provided a standalone price as yet.
The full Osmo unit is available to pre-order from now priced at $649/£549 and will start shipping on October 15.

Saxo Bank wouldn't be surprised if the bitcoin price saw big gains next year.
The Danish investment bank recently published its annual "Outrageous Predictions for 2017", a collection of speculations that it stressed represents more of a fringe outlook than anything official. At the same time, the bank said that these "outlier" predictions represent its attempt to get those in the financial industry to think about more extreme possibilities for the year ahead.
In addition to off-the-cuff calls that the UK won't actually leave the European Union and that Italian equity prices will soar on the back of an EU-led bailout, Saxo Bank said that, under the right conditions, the price of bitcoin could skyrocket to more than $2,100.
Chief among its reasons was the potential for the incoming Trump administration to cause turbulence in the US economy (a reason given by bitcoin traders for recent price momentum).
Though the prediction doesn't represent an official position, it's not the first bullish indication the bank has made.
In 2014, then-current CEO Lars Seier Christensen discussed his "personal" interest in bitcoin with CoinDesk, describing it as an opportunity for investors.
At the time, he had also hinted at early testing of the tech within the bank as well, though later Christensen would go on to argue that liquidity problems at the time were keeping banks on the sidelines.

Can do. We just received another AD2, so we could test on a whole other PC with different cable and different AD2. This PC is using the cable which came with the AD2. We have a full electronics shop with stereo microscopes etc so can give it a good look. And just to be clear, this PC with the 0xA error (what does that mean exactly?) is a completely different PC from the Ubuntu system with the 0x2 error. Thanks for the reply. We'd like to get this tracked down. We were hoping to use two AD2s as our main remote logging devices. Linux is highly preferred because of all the junk in Windows 10 which cannot be shut off. You'd think this instrumentation would be easy for us to put together but it is not proving to be the case.
Just now there is a new Comm error: 0xA, this is on a ThinkPad Yoga 11e with Win 10 Pro, one instance of Waveforms 3.8.2 is the only application open. AD2 is in option 2, only the Scope is open. Just viewing, not logging. What is error 0xA? This is a deal killer if this happens while the system is unattended since all operation ceases and there is no recovery without a visit to the field site. FYI I have Windows auto update turned off, so it will not download or install without my permission, so that is not the issue here. I have sleep turned off, and just now in addition turned off even checking for updates for 35 days (the most allowed). FYI in the Windows Defender history I can see it did to a scan and installed a threat definition update this morning. I don't see how to turn checking for those off. But that alone I would hope would not cause USB comm errors. I just forced a scan now: no comm errors. I'm starting a more rigorous full scan now to see if it causes comm errors: so far, not but it has 3 hours to go. Previous scans have not found any threats.
Agreed timeout would not seem to be the issue here... AD2 also has some USB data loss issue with Linux on Raspberry Pi... any connection? When this connection error occurs, what does it really mean (handshake lost, data CRC failed, etc) and what does the software do? Should I expect any better result under Windows 10? Is there any hardware data I can provide to help? Any logging of detailed error information? Every time this ERC 0x2 communication timeout error happens, I can always reconnect by clicking in Waveforms, so apparently the hardware is OK at some level... so why can't WF automatically do this? Halting on an error means if this happens in the field, our whole data mission is lost.
Here I'll keep a running total of what I have tried and what worked or didn't. I have to find a stable solution or quickly switch to other hardware. We are scheduled to log in the field well before the Christmas holiday, as soon as we can be ready. In our real application, trigger events are expected to be very infrequent (perhaps not even one per day) but obviously if USB connection to the AD2 fails, and WF just halts, we have failed the whole acquisition attempt. AD2, Ubuntu 18.04, Asus UN62, Intel Core i5, test signal asserts every 100 msec, holdoff 0, (OpenScope MZ also running in Chrome, sampling trigger output from AD2). At 100 KHz: 16 msec/div, at 50 KHz: 32 msec/div Option 1 (8K Samples), Time 8192 Samples, 50 KHz, 3999 logged acquisitions success: 4, fails: 0. Option 2 (16K Samples), Time 16384 Samples, 50 KHz, 3999 logged acquisitions success: 0, fails: 2 l@ 3226, 3434 acquisitions Option 2 (16 K Samples), Time 16384 Samples, 100 KHz, 3999 logged acquisitions success: 1, fails: 3 @ 366, 1 after max index reached Option 2 (16K Samples), Time 8192 Samples, 50 KHz, 3999 logged acquisitions success: 0, fails: 2 Communication fails while just monitoring the scope, as you would in the lab. No logging happening, but Execute was set to "Each Triggered Acquisition" but Export said "Not saving. Maximum index reached". I changed Execute to "Manual" to see if that made any difference: no. There seems to be correlation with the Device Manager setting for number of samples: 8K has never failed and 16K always fails. Oddly it doesn';t seem to be the number of samples sent over USB but the number being contemplated by the AD2. Setting for 16K but only sending 8K (via the time base) still fails. Sample rate doesn't seem to be the issue. Also, OpenScope MZ continued to run flawlessly on the Linux system, monitoring trigger out from the AD2. AD2, Windows 10 Pro, Thinkpad Yoga S1 notebook - this is my main daily use notebook. I notice startup is much slower on Windows, so is deleting the temp log files, by like 100X: Windows deletes 80 files per second, so for 3999 files this takes a while. Anyway, after two tests I turned unchecked "noise" per Atilla's suggestion. Option 2 (16K Samples), Time 16384 Samples, 100 KHz, 3999 logged acquisitions success: 8, fails: 0. In addition, no comm error while just viewing waveform on screen. AD2, Windows 10 Pro, Thinkpad x11e notebook - this is the notebook we can leave on site for extended logging Option 2 (16K Samples) can run for days no error... then suddenly there is a popup with Comm error 0xA. This was while just viewing on screen, not logging.
How to crash Waveforms at least under Linux. Have not tried Windows yet open a new workspace Select Scope View Logging In the filename dialog, enter "[ddhh]-[" ahead of the existing "acq####.csv" text. An underscore also is OK. It's the 2nd '[' that seems to be the problem Crash! and application closes screenshot shows just about to enter the '[', I couldn't capture after that because of the crash. My intent was to enter something like [ddhh]-[mmss]. I managed to do this by entering first a [ddhhmmss] then inserting other chars in the middle. Ultimately I arrived at this: acq_####_[ddhh]_[mmss].csv which makes more sense for our files.
Perfect! Thanks. The Scope trigger output located in Waveforms - Options was not obvious. It's not mentioned or linked in the Help Oscilloscope - 2.Control - Source.
Hi, and thanks for the support so far. After a lot of experimenting and reading the help, I'd like to understand the "envelope" of possible triggered, repeated, logged acquisitions, which can run unattended for days or weeks. We need to leave a system in an inaccessible location and log at least 4 analog channels with at least 100 KHz sample rate, for a time of at least 100 usec after the trigger occurs for each triggered event. We believe these events have a time frame of 5 or so 60 Hz cycles, so that's 85 msec post-trigger and we'd like a cycle or two (16 or 32 msec) of pre-trigger. These events are rare and not on a predictable timetable. So we are rather searching for a needle in a haystack and we hope to find evidence it exists. Here I am talking about Scope function (Logger's sample rate of 100 msec is too slow for this case) and there are still many details I don't claim to understand. But since I need to make a report of what is possible with AD2, here goes. Record mode can capture much longer numbers of samples Device manager determines what is possible (e.g. Patterns) but some things seem ignored (e.g. Scope samples) Sample rate, number of samples, and pre-trigger samples are set with the "Config" button with the green diode-like symbol. This is intuitive with a % of total acquisition setting for trigger location. Zooming and scrolling in the display window does not change what you set with the Config button so subsequent captures use the same config. Actual sample rate and length is limited by USB connection speed to the host PC. On a 1.7 GHz dual core Linux with 16 GB RAM and SSD, it seems to be limited to 200 KHz sample rate. At 100 KHz we can capture up to 10 M samples, for a 100 second acquisition Acquisition in "record" mode can only be started with a button click and cannot be triggered by normal scope triggers even though those settings are still present on the GUI. Pressing Record is the only way to start capture and that immediately captures one acquisition. It can't wait for trigger conditions to be met. An acquisition can be saved using the logging settings if set for "each triggered acquisition", even though it really wasn't 'triggered'. Also "each acquisition" works. In record mode, if Device Manager is set to allow it, Patterns can work to use Scope Detector to make an external trigger output on a DIO pin, and this will trigger on the stated conditions but only *after* the Scope Record button is clicked. And I also have to remember to separately click the Pattern Run button or its output won't generate This can only record a single event and you have to click on the Scope Record button to start the acquisition. So Record mode won't work for us. In "repeated" mode, the scope will use the trigger settings Device Manager determines how many samples can be captured: 8K or 16K are the highest options of the 6 available and those seem to be the only ones possible. so it can wait until trigger conditions occur, then capture each time the trigger conditions are met. Sample length is a max of 16384 samples Settings - Options can make one of the trigger pins "Scope" which generates a single rising edge trigger per acquisition, to trigger other AD2s or other logging devices Sample rate and pre-trigger are confusing in repeated mode. It appears they can be set in the Time dialogs, also number of samples, pre-trigger (the "position" setting), but this interacts with the scope display screen: zooming and panning changes your intended settings. There seems to be no way to lock them like on a traditional desktop DSO. It's nothing like Config in Record mode. The display has 10 divisions so if I want to trigger at 2 divisions I'm better off to drag the white triangle on the top of the scope display to 2 divisions from the left. In repeated mode, Trigger takes place at time 0 and pretrigger time is negative. So for 16K samples at 100 KHz, that is about 16 msec/div. Trigger two divisions from left makes the leftmost time -32 msec and Time "Position" 48 msec, which doesn't make any sense to me. Time Base is 16 msec/div as expected. Don't dare zoom in the scope display or the time settings will also change, changing the next triggered acquisition! If you do this by accident its a tedious, multi-click process to get back to the settings you intended. At 100 KHz 16384 samples is 168 msec, long enough for us, we hope. At 8K samples we'd have to drop to 50 KHz samples Clicking Run button means scope will wait for trigger satisfied, then log both channels to PC memory, auto-incrementing the file name File name can include day hour min sec which is handy. Be careful entering this information or Waveforms will crash. I'll post a bug elsewhere. Full timestamp and setting values are included in the .csv log file You specify how many acquisitions to save, at which point logging halts. 1,000,000 is the largest number I could set. Saving workspace sometimes causes a ghost progress window which can be cleared with another save. So Repeated mode will work for us, with the limits of 16K @ 100 KHz samples Each 2-channel 16K log file is about 984 KBytes. As each 16K sample file is a bit under 1 MByte, you get 1000 log files per GB. Summary: For unattended, auto trigger and acquisition of multiple events, and logging to a computer file, "repeated" mode is the only option. We can log two analog channels per AD2, plus digital inputs if we wish. External trigger output: one rising edge per triggered acquisition. Trigger goes low at end of acquisition. Trigger other AD2s or external equipment. Samples per acquisition are 16K or 8K Logging can occur up to the maximum value you set (up to 1 M acquisitions), or the PC runs out of disk space, at about 1 MByte per 16K acquisition.
Hi, is there more info somewhere on AD2 trigger out? I found this topic: AD2 trigger out pulse length and posted a question (then realized it might not be seen since that is an old topic, and I couldn't see how to delete or move the post) there but I can't figure how to get to the screens shown in that thread. I looked in the online help and manual... thanks.


Anybody who has been around the block with personal computers, or even halfway around the block, knows about computer viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. This doesn't apply to everyone, perhaps a friend or family member.
More and more Internet service providers (ISPs) offer subscribers good protection against malware as part of their subscriptions. But not all do.
All of this was hammered home recently when an uncle of mine asked me for suggestions about anti-virus software. He's an older guy but not unsophisticated, an engineer. His request: He wanted protection for his Windows PC, but he didn't want to pay for it, if possible. Sounds like my uncle.
The best and most convenient protection against malware comes from the fee-based security suites of the top security companies, such as Symantec (www.symantec.com ) with its Norton 360 or McAfee (www.mcafee.com), recently acquired by microprocessor giant Intel, with its Total Protection.
Such products come with annual subscriptions ranging from about $30 to $100 per year for home or home office users, with other options available for small and large businesses, nonprofit organizations, schools, and other organizations. They protect not only against viruses but also worms, trojan horses, spyware, zombie attacks, and other maliciousness.
If your ISP doesn't provide security services through such a vendor, here are some free Windows options. In general, however, it's not a good idea to use more than one anti-virus program at a time because they can conflict with one another.
This free security suite was released by Microsoft for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 in September 2009, with Version 2 released in December 2010. Its licensing permits use on an unlimited number of home computers and on up to 10 computers in a business setting.
The product has generally received positive reviews in the computer press and among independent virus-testing labs. If you're looking for a free all-in-one package, Microsoft Security Essentials may be all you need.
Testing by various parties, however, has indicated that other free security programs do a better job at detecting both known and unknown malware. This falls in line with what has been Microsoft's strategy for years. It provides basic utility software that's competent, but it leaves room for independent companies to find a market with higher-quality offerings.
This is the most popular of the free anti-virus programs, but it has gotten a bit long in the tooth lately, not earning the top reviews it used to.
Further, the free version of the program, compared with the fee-based AVG Internet Security, doesn't include firewall protection, provides less frequent updates of virus signatures, and subjects users to pop-up ads promoting the more comprehensive fee-based version.
This is the hottest of the free anti-virus programs these days, garnering lots of positive reviews in the computer press as well as positive word-of-mouth among computer geeks. It's a product of a company from the Czech Republic and is available in versions written in English and 10 other languages.
The independent site AV-Comparatives.org (www.av-comparatives.org) recently gave Avast its top score for on-demand malware detection and ranked it as the fastest-running anti-virus product for Windows PCs. PC World recently ranked the free version highest among the free anti-virus programs it tested.
The free version, however, doesn't come with a firewall. And it's available only for non-commercial use. It does, however, provide free anti-spyware protection along with free anti-virus protection.
One option in using a free program such as Avast Free that's stellar in performance but lacking in some capabilities is to pair it with other free programs.
This is the most popular product of its kind, and its latest version has earned good reviews, with new features added after a long stretch of time in which the company focused on its fee-based offerings. ZoneAlarm created the free personal firewall market with its first release back in 1999.
As with most other free software, fee-based versions also exist. A "pro" version offers additional protection as well as 24/7 technical support.
Nonetheless, pairing Avast Free with ZoneAlarm Free Firewall provides pretty potent protection. There's still no such thing, however, as a free lunch.
You can't beat Symantec's Norton 360, in my own view and the view of others, for the best protection combined with the most comprehensive offerings, including identity theft protection, online backup, parental controls, and a number of other utilities that keep your computer running smoothly. You get what you pay for.
